Personally at this point it is impossible to predict anything. We only know that the games are not cancelled 
it shouldnât make it longer though. Fable has been rumored since 2018, and most of these studios have been acquired since 2018. a 6 to 7 years developing cycle seems too much for me, not even considering they have a subscription service. and not to mention the competitorâs fast release cycles.
I am afraid thatâs the current mentality of Xbox.
Some of you guys have gone looney

Everwild pre reboot was targeting 2023 so itâs not hitting 2024 at the earliest and Perfect Dark I dont expect earlier than 2024 either
The delays for Starfield and Redfall mean very little for their other games
GamePass is going to need to be continually fed going forward, if they happen to have 5 or even 6 big games ready in 2023/4 or whenever then they will release when they are ready
If Avowed is ready for 2023 its not suddenly going to not release in 2023 because Starfield also is
Iâd add one more year to each of these games you named at first, Avowed being 2024 and Fable 2025 seems more realistic but only time will tell.
Everwild considering what happened to it, god knows but 2025+ is a safe bet, and Perfect Dark might make it to 2024 i hope.
Time to accept itâll take MS longer than we thought to be able to deliver a big amount of AAA games per year, at least 2023 will be fine due to 2022 being empty.

Matty has his take on it, itâs a good video. Basically he just days 2022 was supposed to be the year of these two games, two brand new IP, new blood that Xbox players have been waiting for, for a long time. And from there on into 2023 weâd see Avowed, maybe Fable, but right now itâs all up in the air.
He does get a bit doom and gloomy with kind of questioning the future of Xbox, and he acknowledges that too, says heâs barely ever like that but thatâs how he feels now. I can definitely see where heâs coming from.
And yes we all know about covid and everything else, still doesnât mean it isnât very unfortunate. This ânewâ Xbox with huge new IP and promise has seen a delay, sadly. Just hope we WILL get to a point where we can have at least two or three big release in a year. Really liked the sound of their plans for having a game every quarter or so but we are not there yet by any means.
Yet more waiting really.
fable is PGâs first crack at a completely different genre than they are used to. the length of dev time makes complete sense.
Well, at least from marketing standpoint, Microsoftâs current mentality is - Game Pass is a marketing 
I would ask him why whenever a game is being delayed, suddenly Xboxâs future is in jeopardy. Does he do that for everyone, what with delays being common, or just Xbox ?

I thought Starfield was delayed to the first half of 2023

With absolutely zero inside information and barely any game dev knowledge, Iâm going to guess it was testing limitations. Considering how confident they were to give an exact date, I think they figured the game was coming along at a good pace. Then it came to doing rigorous QA/Testing/etc, and it turns out they needed more time.
This is pure conjecture on my part, but considering their wording for this delay (polishing) and the limitations on in-house testing we know that Covid has (and continues to) cause, feels reasonable enough to me.
God matty is such a clown

I think heâs having a moment right now, lol, he says in his video that heâs a bit emotional about it all right now. For him as hardcore BGS fan itâs bittersweet. Good that BGS and Xbox realize the game needs more time in the oven, but bad because he was so certain of the release date. Heâll talk more in a podcast about it and I think heâll be less dramatic there.
Usually isnât really all that Doom and gloom, heâs more of the almost over excited gamer type, haha.

I had a good laugh
In 2020 it was âwait for 2021â, in 2021 it was âwait for 2022â, in 2022 we have âwait for 2023â.
Well, considering that Sony moneyhats third parties - even without first party releases they kinda get âexclusiveâ games.

2021 was good though

Yep, 2021 was a pretty good year for Xbox, even had a good E3 show.
Itâs also why I always laugh at the âwait for e3â memes/narrative. I donât care how good an E3 is, Iâm already waiting for the next one. And the one after that, and the one after that.
Why wouldnât I wait for it, itâs the best time of the year!

Yeah, we even had Grubb saying 2022 was gonna be the year weâd start to see everything coming together. Now maybe he meant E3 with that, and weâll have to wait and see what they got in store but in terms of gamesâŚman.
Understandable imo, no big secret that Xbox has more to proof than Switch and Playstation, the other platform holders are delivering a decent amount of different games even if they clearly were hit by Covid etc too, while MS , for the 2 first years will have Halo and Forza, or if weâre lucky, Halo and 2 Forzas.
The doom and the âxbox has no gamesâ troll jokes will end obv, but in this 2022, every bad thing that could happen, has happened and it will take near a year to get things going again
